Method
Cook your beef chilli by browning the beef, onions and garlic in oil. Then add our spices and herbs. Pour in your beef stock and tomatoes and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook for 2 hours until soft and tender. Add in your chocolate and season to taste.
Preheat your pizza oven to 450˚C and then move the fire to one side.
Flour your peel with polenta and throw your pizza dough into a large circle approximately 30cm in diameter. Lay carefully onto the floured peel.
Top the dough with a couple of spoons of BBQ tomato sauce. Add torn mozzarella, jalapeno, and chilli beef as toppings.
Bake for 2-3 mins and then turn the pizza around. Bake for a further 2-3 minutes until the base is crispy and the cheese melts. Finish with grated chocolate.
